5.0 out of 5 stars Informative, appreciative, and stimulating resource, November 19, 1999

By A Customer

This is a wonderful book. The writer knows the era and the songs inside and out. His analysis is incisive, thorough, and original. He is always fair. He comes up with some insights that will make you look at the music and the songwriters with fresh eyes and ears.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very well done, wonderful book, June 28, 1999

By A Customer

this is very well-researched and written. The author must have spent a long time on this book. This is a great reference book and you'll find that you use it much more often then you think.
